Incunabulum - in-folio - sheets - 179 not numbered - Nineteenth-century half leather binding. According to the expert Ada Peyrot it is the "editio princeps" printed in the Turin workshop of Giovanni Fabri (Jean Fabre), a Burgundian by birth, who introduced the art of printing to Turin and other smaller towns in Piedmont. Embellished with hand finishing of the drop caps, it is the first printed edition, with splendid round characters, of the first corpus of statutes of a national state. From a juridical point of view it contains the rules of good governance or rather the rules promulgated by Amedeo VIII in 1430 with the additions of the Duke Filiberto and the mother regent Duchess Jolanda of Savoy.
